    NEW YORK, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Annoyed that the salesperson neglected
 to mention that the new iPod nano you bought for your daughter this holiday
 season did not come with a wall charger? Or perhaps you are overjoyed that
 the sales associate at a local boutique took the time to help you find the
 perfect pair of cashmere gloves to match the scarf you already bought for
 your mother? Luckily, Measuredup.com now offers consumers nationwide an
 outlet for recent holiday shopping frustrations and praises.
     "Everyone knows that the holiday season brings with it a whole host of
